Microsoft Announces DirectAccess Service to be Obsolete

On June 13, TapTechNews reported that Microsoft officially updated its support documentation this month and announced that the DirectAccess service has become obsolete, and it will be removed in future Windows versions, and users are recommended to migrate to AlwaysOnVPN.

TapTechNews attached the following official Microsoft introduction:

DirectAccess does not require a traditional virtual private network connection and supports remote users to connect to organizational network resources.

When using a DirectAccess connection, the remote client computer is always connected to the organization - remote users do not have to start and stop the connection like a virtual private network connection.

In addition, IT administrators can manage DirectAccess client computers while they are running and connected to the Internet.

Microsoft said that AlwaysOnVPN has been launched in all Windows versions currently, and third parties can use the platform's functions through the supported method of UWPVPN plug-in.
